Hairline Aftercare

Avoid Scratching or Picking
Do not scratch or pick at the treated area, even if it starts to scab or itch. Picking can lead to pigment loss, scarring, and uneven healing.

Avoid Sun Exposure
Avoid sunbathing or tanning for at least 2–4 weeks after your procedure. UV exposure can fade the pigment and irritate the healing skin.

When your scalp has fully healed (after about 4 weeks), use a high SPF sunscreen on the treated area to prevent fading from sun exposure.

No Makeup on the Area
Do not apply makeup (including powders or concealers) to the treated hairline for at least 7–10 days. Makeup can introduce bacteria to the healing skin, which may cause infection.

Avoid Sweating and Intense Exercise
Avoid excessive sweating from intense exercise, saunas, or hot yoga for at least 7–10 days after your session. Sweating can irritate the treated area and affect pigment retention.

No Swimming or Hot Tubs
Avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, or natural bodies of water (like lakes) for at least 2 weeks. These can expose the treated scalp to bacteria, chlorine, and other contaminants that can interfere with healing.

Avoid Hair Treatments
Do not get hair treatments, such as coloring, perming, or chemical treatments, on the treated area for 4–6 weeks. These treatments can irritate the skin and may alter the appearance of the microblading.

Sleep on Your Back
Try to sleep on your back for the first few nights, using extra pillows to keep your head elevated. This can help reduce swelling and avoid putting pressure on the treated area.

Hydrate and Rest
Drink plenty of water and get adequate rest to support the healing process and skin regeneration.

What to expect

  • Swelling and redness around the eyebrow area are common right after the procedure. This typically subsides within a few hours to a day.

  • The pigment may appear darker and more defined in the first few days. Don't worry, as the color will soften and settle into the final shade as the healing progresses.

  • As your eyebrows heal, small scabs or flakes may form. This is normal and part of the healing process. Do not pick at them, as it could cause patchiness or scarring.

  • Initial healing: (superficial layer): The first 7–10 days usually involve some mild scabbing, peeling, or flaking.

  • It can take up to 4–6 weeks for your skin to fully heal and for the pigment to settle into its final shade.

  • After the initial healing period, you may notice that the pigment lightens and softens. This is normal, and it's why most people require a touch-up after 6–8 weeks.
